Your horoscope for December 1 to 7, 2016

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      December opens on the upswing. For the next couple of weeks, Mars in Aquarius will keep the social and political action stirred up. Thursday evening, mission-driven Mars/Jupiter are game to get out to enjoy the local action, talk it up, share a few laughs, and spread good cheer. It’s a more hopeful, optimistic influence. God knows, we could use more of both!

      On Friday, Mercury advances into Capricorn. The transit puts more attention toward the duty call and to added pressure, financial restraints, or the short amount of time you have to work with. To the plus, it can help you to get a better handle on things. Effort nets reward. There are bargains to be had. Don’t scrimp on quality, though.

      Keeping the pace industrious and lively, Mars is in good shape with Saturn on Saturday and Uranus on Tuesday. It’s the peak weekend of the month for making the most of it before Christmas and Hanukkah. Friday through Sunday is also stage-setting for next week’s U.S. election recount, which coincides with a super full moon in Gemini.

      On Wednesday, Venus leaves Capricorn for Aquarius. We’ll notice this as a fresh wind regarding everything to do with socializing, shopping, the holidays, and the political climate.

      This first half of the month provides your best window of opportunity. You are wise to aim for a step ahead with your holiday shopping, plans, and extras. On December 19, Mercury turns retrograde, which, as you probably know by now, is not the best transit for shopping or decisions.

      Aries
      March 20 - April 20

      You are a good idea factory Thursday. Conversation and connection are in good flow too. Friday can be one to get through, but Saturday onward, the stars keep to a smooth track. Mercury into Capricorn reminds you to stay practical and to put time to good use. Venus into Aquarius, starting next Wednesday, keeps the money in motion and the social spark well lit.

      Taurus
      April 20 - May 21

      You’ll track it down and figure it out with relative ease over this next week. Busier days and a longer must-do list are no surprise. Even so, the work, planning, and problem-solving hit a smooth track. Saturday through Monday puts you or it on a fresh spin. Go, do, and get while it’s working for you so well.

      Gemini
      May 21 - June 21

      Mars, Jupiter, and Venus keep you in spirits bright and moving from next to next without skipping a beat. Take full advantage of the next two weeks while the getting is so good. Despite the financial stretch and busyness everywhere that are so typical of the holidays, it’s near impossible to put a dent in your good mood, especially Thursday and Saturday to Monday.

      Cancer
      June 21 - July 22

      Something fresh and new hits the mark very well on Thursday. In fact, that’s your best play for the weekend and for the next couple of weeks. Mercury in Capricorn, starting Friday, gives you something more tangible to go on. You’ll find it’s easier to make up your mind, get an answer, or know where you stand with others.

      Leo
      July 22 - August 23

      You’ll now hit a social and activity upswing. With fast-track Mars in good shape through mid next week, you’ll time it right, do it right, and say it right. Venus into Aquarius, starting Wednesday, extends that good trend. While the spur of the moment can see caution thrown to the wind, Mercury, freshly into Capricorn, reminds you to keep practical and budget-conscious.

      Virgo
      August 23 - September 23

      Mars/Jupiter set you onto a productive upswing. Get on it and you’ll get the job done without too much sweat. There’s absolutely no reason to buy into stress. No matter what pressure or challenge you face, you’ll gain good traction from helpful stars, especially through the following weekend. Mercury in Capricorn puts you in the driver’s seat and loans you excellent smarts.

      Libra
      September 23 - October 23

      Synchronicity works like a charm for you on Thursday. Say yes to a spontaneous invite, purchase, or whim. In fact, great timing should keep rolling for you through the weekend and into next week’s start. As of Friday, Mercury in Capricorn helps you to better manage time and money. It also sets a backdrop for better results and reward.

      Scorpio
      October 23 - November 22

      As of Thursday, you should feel you are gaining on yourself and that it falls into place naturally and well. Mercury in Capricorn, starting Friday, can draw more attention to timelines, deadlines, and duty will also help you get the responsibilities handled, the message conveyed, and the plans nailed down. Saturday through Wednesday, you’ll make good headway.

      Sagittarius
      November 22 - December 21

      Something out of the blue could fill it in for you quite nicely Thursday/Friday. Saturday/Sunday is also good for making it up as you go along. Mercury in Capricorn helps you to get a better handle on spending, health, or other important stuff. We may not see much of you for most of Tuesday. You’ll resurface once Venus treks into Aquarius on Wednesday.

      Capricorn
      December 21 - January 20

      Ready, set, jump on it. Thursday/Friday, you’re hot stuff. Mars/Jupiter and Mercury into Capricorn boost you with a fresh burst of energy and can-do. All new initiatives are especially well timed. Don’t hesitate; don’t delay. Take charge; be the first to say it or do it. Good timing gifts you through mid next week.

      Aquarius
      January 20 - February 18

      Mars in Aquarius in excellent shape with Jupiter kick-starts a happening week or two. Thursday brings news and/or puts it into full swing in some happy or official way. Socially, creatively, and activity-wise, Saturday through Monday keeps you going strong too. Venus into Aquarius, starting Tuesday, brings more favoured attention and good feedback your way.

      Pisces
      February 18 - March 20

      You’ll get a much better handle on it as of Thursday/Friday. Mercury into Capricorn helps you to be more practical and use time more efficiently. It will also help you stay on budget. There’s no need to put yourself under pressure. Mars, Jupiter, and Venus keep it stimulating, social, upbeat, and, mostly, smooth-rolling.
